Unfiltered indeed
#chillaxing with my faves @HolisticHazel and @PollysFewBits #MamasNightOut #MamasOnTheLoose #partay #besties Er…. okay. This article will eventually be a piece about Unfiltered by Sophie White, but first I’d like to explain how I became cool by sheer negligence. Yep – it’s true – your friendly neighbourhood pavement-pounding blogger does not have a SMARTphone (I only…

What do words mean? A prediction, and a scrap of advice for 2023
2023 will be a year to choose your words carefully and stand by them, and it will be a year in which doing so may cause your opponents to froth at the mouth. It may also result in your being arrested, and actually charged, for uttering illegal words. These days, I have a slight nag…

The Ghost of Christmas Rational
They have called us everything under the sun. They have run to the bosses with slanders and tried to push us out of work, out of our unions and out of politics. They have called our campaign “transphobic”, and way too many commentators have called the clash between our women’s rights campaign and their #NoDebate…

On being disinformed
***Long read*** For most of the last decade, despite my determination to live effectively in the real world, I have been repeatedly drawn into apparently intractable battles of words. It’s not just me, either. I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told me they’ve given up on politics entirely because “it’s all so…

History in the making…
Adult Human Female: a documentary in defence of women’s rights I am humbly asking all my friends, comrades and readers of my blog to please do something for me. I am one of the many people, mostly women, who have been slandered, abused and disadvantaged in the last few years, for calling out those who…

Ha ha! Here’s proof the left are far-right!
If I was going to be really bitchy… well alright, I am going to be a bit wicked. Here’s why… Some years ago now, a group of trade unionist women got together to deal with the blatantly obvious clash between Stonewall’s advocacy of sex self-ID and women’s legal rights. (I think now everyone’s seen what’s…

The Subject of Desire
I always hate it when a “sexuality” question turns up in all those random forms you have to fill in. Even when you get past “do I want to tell you this,” you still have the problem of what to put – is a bi woman lesbian when she has a female partner? Is she…

Real feminism
I wrote a piece recently in which I suggested we dump the phrase ‘gender critical’. Someone who read it messaged me and said “so what shall we call ourselves instead?” First, let’s look at the issue… What’s wrong with ‘gender critical’? I had been wondering, but others were ahead of me, pointing out that you…

Who are we and what are we doing?
***Long read*** Personally, I figured it out at FiLiA 2022, in discussion of all the terrible things happening across the globe, and in glorious celebration with women from 70 countries. If you haven’t named it yet, please see if you can find it in this article. We need to sort out some distinctions… Women are…

“I never lose”
Words spoken by a woman who has become the figurehead, a queen, for one part of the women’s sex-based rights movement. It’s a dangerous statement, standing alone. It’s a fantasy, a fictional position. I found out recently that the full quote she lifted the phrase from is, “I never lose – I win, or I…
